1948 Jeep CJ

If you are looking for a a cool car to take to the local cruise night or want a solid hunting vehicle, you may want to check out my Willys Jeep. Up for auction is my 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. I found this little beauty in a covered shed on a farm near my home in central New Mexico. From what I understand it had not been used in nearly 20 years which I guess qualifies as a barn find. I am no expert but I’ll give you my opinion on the condition. It appears to be in what I consider very good condition. The “Go Devil” 4 cylinder engine has great oil pressure, runs great with no smoke and appears to be very happy. The transmission shifts and shows no signs of jumping out of gear (it is missing the shift knob). The 4 wheel drive seems to be operating properly. It has been converted to 12 volt and has a new battery and rebuilt starter. The cooling system seems to be in good shape. Note the rare original air cleaner!! The body is in good condition. Note the diamond plate that has been put on the floor and rear fender wells. It looks to have been professionaly done. The seat looks to be of the original type but is not permanently mounted as it will need to be upholstered. As seen in the photos the steering wheel isn’t original. The seals in the transfer case and differential covers are leaking but some old timers say that’s from sitting and will slow down as the seals swell. That appears to be correct. The throw out bearing is growling but that to seems to be getting better as it is driven. The tires have a lot of tread but are very old and not road worthy. The chassis has had some repairs over the 66 years but looks pretty darn good. The frame rails behind the front bumper have had the reinforcement plates added (hence the reassigned VIN). Restore it or enjoy it. Bottom line is it’s not perfect but several knowledgeable people have told me this is one of the best they have seen in years. This isn’t a rusty piece of junk. It has a reassigned VIN & clear New Mexico title in my name. This Willys Jeep is located in Los Lunas, NM approx 20 miles south of Albuquerque. You’re the experts so ask questions before you bid. I have a low reserve. Winning bidder to pay $500 non refundable deposit within 24 hrs of auction end via paypal, balance due within 7 days. Buyer is responsible for shipping. Vehicle will not be released until my bank is satisfied that funding is complete. Good Luck
